Ruddington ‘Wakes’ Funfair

Ruddington’s traditional, family funfair continues this weekend. The annual event is on from 2pm on Saturday 25th and on Sunday 26th June.

If you’re a Ruddington resident, walking to the funfair is recommended. For visitors not in the village there is some free onsite parking. Alternatively, except on Sunday, you can catch Nottingham City Transport’s Navy 3 bus service direct to the fair alighting at Paget Crescent bus stop. The Green 10 bus takes you as far as the village centre and back in the evenings and on Sunday.

Originally “The Wakes” were held on The Green but, since 1968, have taken place each year on Sellors’ Playing Field on Wilford Road – with one exception in 2020, when this popular Ruddington funfair, run by Cox’s Amusements, was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

If YOU have any old photographs of “Ruddington Wakes” pre-1968 when it was still on The Green, and you’d be happy to share them with us, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch via our “Contact” page >>HERE<<.
